Saraband is listing a family collection of rare, out-of-print and second hand books on Books & Collectibles at www.booksandcollectibles.com.au, and also BibliOZ at www.biblioz.com.
The books listed cover a diverse range of interests and disciplines. There are some very rare items, such as the 1828 publication of Thomas A Kempis book The Imitation of Christ (pictured right); some self-publications, dictionaries and grammars of the Motu language, and various others. There are a lot of childrens' annuals from the 30s, 40s and 50s and childrens' fiction in varying condition.
Also, there's plenty of Australiana including some classics about Aboriginal peoples, and various books on Papua New Guinea and Polynesia. A large group of Victorian and Edwardian fiction books are listed (some by A.L.O.E. also pictured right). In between, you will find general non-fiction, books on thoroughbred horse breeding, sheep breeding, lots of historical football newsletters and magazines, adventure and travel, art, crafts, stage anecdotes, poetry, drama, novels, war memorabilia, early paperbacks and all sorts of oddities.
A catalogue of all books currently listed on Books & Collectibles and BibliOZ is available here in pdf format. It is arranged by author. An Excel format catalogue could also be emailed to you if you cannot access the website or the pdf catalogue. If you are interested in any of these items, please email or phone to confirm availability. The list will be updated every month or so.
